Arsenal
medical team updated that midfielder Mathieu Flamini who missed last game due
to ankle injury will be back for this game. But it remains unclear for the
Frenchman whether he will start the game as Calum Chambers has been good in the
midfield role.

The
North London side remain without several of star players including Santi
Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez
would be returning for the FA Cup game against Sunderland next week, according
to Wenger. But Cazorla is still on the sideline and will take time to recover.

While
midfielder Jack Wilshere who has returned to training will not be taking part
as it is too early for him. Wenger said that he needs more time to reach his
full fitness.

Tomas
Rosicky will return to training later this month but Francis Coquelin remain a
long term absentee along with Danny Welbeck.

The
Gunners are hoping to keep their top spot in the Premier League table by beating
the Magpies.
